so ordinary....
AQ Khan is an egotist. When he dies, I doubt any of his peers would mourn his death.Isn't mr. khan the same guy who gave a certificate to the water car engineer?
He doesn't know the first thing about science and now he wants to give certificate to Kalam?

AQ Khan: the truth finally prevails - The Express Tribune
Thieves and Smugglers are giving certificates to science gems !!NEW DELHI: The death of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam led to an outpouring of grief across the country with tributes flowing in from across all quarters.
However, there was one person who didn't think much of the former President's accomplishments as a scientist.
Pakistan nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan in an interview to BBC said Abdul Kalam was an ordinary scientist.
A Q Khan, considered the father of Pakistan's nuclear programme said, "Kalam used to prefer simplicity in all walks of life but he was an ordinary scientist."
In a phone interview to BBC, Khan said he could not remember anything noteworthy that Kalam had achieved. He claimed India's missile programme was developed with Russia's help.
The Pakistani scientist also claimed that there was politics involved in the appointment of Abdul Kalam as President in 2002. Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister and the NDA was in power at the time. "He (Kalam) was made the President because the BJP wanted to garner Muslim votes," Khan said.
In 2004, A Q Khan was accused of supplying crucial secrets on nuclear weapons to foreign countries. He was dismissed from his job and was put under house arrest. However, Islamabad high court in 2009 declared him a free citizen of Pakistan.
For lakhs of Indians, Kalam embodied the new India story, born into a poor Muslim family in Tamil Nadu, he rose by sheer force of education to become a missile scientist, the "missile man of India" becoming chief scientific adviser to the Prime Minister, then secretary of the DRDO, and then President of India.
Kalam collapsed on July 27 at 6.30pm while delivering a lecture at IIM-Shillong and was declared dead soon after.

What a tragic day......Thieves and Smugglers are giving certificates to science gems !!
A.Q Khan should have respected a dead man who once was in the same race as he was ...!
Sadly AQ Khan and APJ were never from the same race.
He was proud Tamilian (in race) and a Indian.

Simplicity was his hallmark!
Abdul Kalam: Simplicity was his hallmark - The Hindu
"Mr. Kalam met guards of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police at the gate and wondered why they had to brave the biting cold. He ordered heaters for the security cabins and adequate warm clothes for the guards. This was just one of the many instances that reflected the humane face of Mr. Kalam but never publicised, says his close aide and senior scientist V. Ponraj."
"His family never was part of his privileges. Only once did his family visit Delhi. They travelled in a sleeper class coach from Madurai and a government bus picked them up at the railway station. The family left after the three-day trip. The President’s secretariat was struck by the fact that Mr. Kalam asked the Chief Accounts Officer to prepare the bill for his family’s visit to Rashtrapati Bhavan and paid it."
“The President is entitled to many privileges. But he hardly enjoyed any ... when the presidential days came to an end, Mr. Kalam walked out with his two suitcases. His assets are the goodwill of the people and some books, nothing else,” Mr. Ponraj adds.
